Basic Principle most important
Prevention of Bacterial Entry through barrier
Towel Forceps/Clamps
Surgical drapes cover animal during surgery
Only area open is surgical site
Clamps keep towel in place during surgery and help prevent contamination
Surgeon Prep
Covered in bacteria naturally
To prevent spread
Gloves, mask, head cover, gown

Wound healing basics
Understanding healing is essential to surgery and trauma treatment
Wound healing Process
Hemostasis Phase, Bleeding
Begins directly after trauma or surgery breach
Bleeding helps to flush the wound
Instantly the vessels constrict, blood flow slows
Blood starts to clot
Protects from excessive blood loss
Clot dries meaning scabbing
Scab allows f
Problems in Wound healing
